Actually, let me add Debra T's in Poughkeepsie, NY to that. It's an overbearingly cute ice cream parlor, but they make a surprisingly beefy burger (beefy as in taste, not size).

1. Burger Joint, New York, NY
2. Stand, New York, NY
3. Woody's, Cornwall, NY

5. Five Guys, All Over, The Place
Not very geographically diverse, as I never seem to travel to places with good burgers.

Aw hell, I was just in Temecula on Sunday, looking for a trough to slop in. I ended up in Murietta at an indy pizza place and had some mediocre pie.

I'm going to go with these in no particular order.
Sharon's Burgers, Kingsport, Tn
Steak N Shake
Five Guys
Tommy's in L.A. 40 years ago at least since I ate there. Could be more nostalgia then anything else.
Wicked Burger, Port St. Lucie, Fl Unfortunately seems to headed downhill while trying to expand menu to suit every possible taste. Should have stuck to the basics IMO.

also, is the shake shack all that they say it is?
it looks like in & outs. Taste some what the same?
I have had in & out, and it reminded me of 5 guys.
must try it on my next visit to NYC

I really like Shake Shack, but it's not that different from In-N-Out to be honest. The biggest difference is that the do the "smash into the grill" cooking technique, similar to Steak n Shake, giving the burger a nice crisp around the edges (somehow, however, Shake Shack does it without drying out the burger). I also had this burger there (The Stack Attack, which is a cheeseburger topped with their veggie burger, which is a a deep-fried cheese-stuff portabello). It was actually really good, although it was a serious fat bomb:

The lines at Shake Shack, however, can be unholy, especially on a nice weekend day. When I was last in NYC (May 1st), the line at Shake Shack was almost 2 hours long. Good burgers, but never in a million years worth that kind of wait.

thats crazy, I LOVE burgers but would never wait that long. Are people on crack?
I thought they were like in&out. I thought In&out were ok for what it is but nothing like people rave about. Thanks for the feedback!

No real order to these, but these are burgers that I regularly crave:

2. Jucy Lucy, Matt's Bar, Minneapolis, MN:

3. Big One with Cheddar, The Chuck Box, Tempe, AZ:

In no particular order:

Charlie Bob's in Nashville, TN...good, meaty, and flame-broiled
XXX Drive-In in West Lafayette, IN...made me remember how good Miracle Whip is on a burger
Becky's in Woodlawn, TN...a little diner in an A-frame with a double cheesburger so big you'll need to unhinge your jaw
General Cafe in hohenwald, TN...just good
I also had a wonderful burger in the bar at the Hyatt Regency at O'Hare Airport. I'm still amazed at how good it was, considering the source.

What's not to love about a burger cooked under a hubcap?

24 is not enough hours in a day for all the possible choices.

Re:Your Top 5 Burgers (MandalayVA)

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:51:23 GMT

Not numbering since all of these were an equal level of awesome:

Kuma Burger, Kuma's Corner, Chicago
Bacon cheeseburger, Buchanan's, Calgary
John Edwards burger, Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage, Cambridge MA
Double-double burger, In N Out Burger, San Francisco
Hamburger, Elysian Fields, Seattle

Haven't been to Peter Luger's yet (makes note to put on list for September NYC trip).

Re:Your Top 5 Burgers (nysharks)

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:24:55 GMT

Mr. Barley's is very good and the atmosphere is definitely Road Food. Still I put Luger's at the top of my list. But I really don't have a list as I don't remember too many burgers that really were that memorable. There are very good ones like In N Out, Red Robin, and Bartley's but nothing that really made me take notice like a Luger burger. I could come up with a list for hot dogs though...
